She's a good teacher, and even takes the time to remember names and faces. She's always available for questions. If you study for the quizzes and take notes in class, you won't have any problem at all. Her tests are fair, and she dedicates the class before the test date to review and go over the material that will be on the test. You can't lose...
She teaches very quickly but she gets the info otu there. You get out of the class bofore the 50mins are up. The material is kinda hard so i requires some out of class studying.
Great teacher! Stats is a hard class but she made it so much better! Study study study...you have to earn it-she is always available for help. Online quizzes, 4 tests, takes attendance but hardly ever in class more than 30 min-you MUST get her!
This is a great teacher! I'm taking stats for a 2nd time b/c my 1st prof. made stats seem like an ancient greek language or something. Ferrell explains everything SO clearly that stats is actually fun for me now. The 1st test I made a 97 on when I made 20s on tests the last time I took stats. I would definately recommend her.
I had Mrs. Ferrell years ago for college algebra and she was great. She was always willing to help and remembered your name. Her smile would also light up the room and make algebra enjoyable! I was definitely hot for teacher!!!!!
Great teacher. Explain material very well. Highle recommended!
Great Professor, test were very fair and she did a great job of relaying the concepts to the class in a very understandable manner.
Very nice teacher. Quizzes are easy, test are kinda hard. Just go to class and she covers the material very well in class.
Professor Ferrell was a very good professor who was always smiling. She presents the material very clearly and makes ALL the class notes available to you online. Just show up for class and fill in the notes. Few HW assnmts, but tests may be difficult if you don't do the study guides. Show up, actually try, and you will be fine. Take her!
Professor Ferrel is really nice and gets straight to the point. She doesn't waste time teaching info that won't be on the tests, she gives you formulas and you just have to know how to use them. I am not very good in math, and I got an A in her class. Not alot of homework at all, and her tests are managable. Take her if you can!
GREAT PROFESSOR! She posts notes that you come to class and fill in and posts most of the fill ins even if you aren't there. Makes the material crystal clear and what you teaches you exactly what is on the tests. Great Professor for anyone who loves or hates math.
This teacher is so nice. She explains very clearly and is always available when you need help. She gives you the formulas for all tests, including the final. Her study guides, homework, and notes are very helful for the tests.
Great Teacher! I took her for summer school and it was a great decision. She is helpful and knows exactly what she is doing. She replaces your lowest test grade with your highest and graded homework is all online. She does not check regular homework in class and the test are no more than 20 questions. You can only miss two classes.
She is very organized. She explains stats very well and wants you to know the basics. Just don't forget to do the homework, there are only 10. Great teacher, seems enthusiastic.
great teacher, plus she's pretty hot!
she is the best math teacher i have ever had! she makes sure you know your stuff. she dumbs things down and makes it really easy to understand but if you are the type that does not go to class( she does take attendance) and does not study for tests then you will not pass! she allows one cheat sheet for the 4 tests and also the final exam! TAKE HER!
She makes the class so easy. Her notes are very helpful so attend class. Tests are straight from the notes. HW once a week, only a few problems. One of the nicest and easiest professors I've ever had. Take her class!
Took online, but she is a great teacher, always willing to help. There's only 6 grades for the class (homework, 4 exams & 1 final) She uses AVR for online students to watch her daily class sessions which helps a lot in learning the material. I highly recommend taking her for any class, she is a great teacher.
definitely a great teacher. notes are clear cut. and if you miss a class, you can always look in the book and get your notes. tests are easy if you know what you are doing, but if not you are screwed. homework are really easy. attendance isnt mandatory but she will replace lowest test grade if you miss less than 3 classes. would take again.
Shes a great teacher, lays everything out in an easy to understand way, gives study guides before test, lets you use a cheat sheet front and back for each test. its a hard subject but she makes it easy, definitely take her
If math isn't your best subject, I would definitely recommend taking her class. She makes a difficult subject easier to understand. Her notes are clear and easy to follow. The tests are easy as long as you know what you're doing, and you can use a cheat sheet. She's always willing to help the students who need it.
Mrs. Ferrell is my favorite teacher at ECU. business stats was super easy and she made it super fun. recommended highly!
Wow, wow, and WOW. Is she seriously a math teacher? She makes statistics easy and enjoyable. And, if I may... she's the hottest :-)
Best Math teacher I have ever had. She makes Stats so easy to understand. Gives you a cheat sheet on the tests so you don't have to memorize formula. Take her if she is available
She's nice and relatively attractive. However, dont believe all the hype after that point. To be honest, I really dont feel like the tests were anywhere near as easy as the notes made them seem like it they were going to be. I studied regularly and passed. i was expecting to get a high b,considering how much everyone makes her class seem easy.
Highly Recommended!
MS. Ferrell is by far one knowledgeable professor there is. She isn't boring, helps and teaches the material well. Statistics isn't hard nor is it easy. There are 3 assignments a week, 4 exams and comprehensive final. Her notes contain everything you need to know for exams. Study and you'll get nothing less than a B :)
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I took a Biostatistics class before taking her Business Stats and it was extremely hard. Then, I get Debbie and she made the same concepts crystal clear. I really enjoyed her.
Get the online textbook; the only time I used it was help with homework or if I had a Q regarding the test. Keep up with your homework and make your study guides for the test and you can easily make a 100! The study guides are front and back one page per test and you can write whatever you want! Plus, she's awesome!
I highly recommend her. If you do the homework, which takes about 10 minutes, and go to class you will do well. Also if you miss less the 3 classes she adds 10 points to your lowest test grade. She is a great teacher and gets grades back the same day.
I am not a math person. Took college algebra a few times. Was very nervous to take this class. This teacher was by far the best math teacher I've ever had. She has daily powerpoints to follow with her, and she allows a cheat sheet for exams. As long as you go to class, she will teach it to you! So helpful and explains everything!!
Highly recommend. Best math teacher ever, and I suck at math. She really teaches this material well! If you have to take this class at ECU, take her
Great Teacher, clearly defines things! You get a cheat sheet for every test and get to use all your cheat sheets on the final. Print off your notes, go to class and you'll get extra credit if you only miss two days!
One of the nicest and most helpful teachers I've ever had! She made this class super easy to understand and let us make cheat sheets before every test. Homework is on MML and very easy. If you miss no more than 3 classes you get 10 bonus points for your lowest test grade. Almost never goes the entire 50 minutes. Highly recommend!
Seriously one of the most helpful teachers I have ever had. Even though I took the class online, her lectures were very detailed, and when help was needed she would email back very quickly. Definitely recommend her!
If you go to class its a breeze test are tough but as long as you study you should be fine
She knows what she is doing :) I can not emphasize this enough, TAKE HER CLASS! Be prepared to do homework, nightly! If you print off the notes, follow along in class, do your homework, and complete chapter quizzes, then you will do fine. Do NOT miss a class, you will thank me later! She's phenomenal! TAKE HER CLASS!
The class requires a lot of studying and the homework and chapter quizzes are provided by Pearson MyStatLab. The instructor provides her tests on blackboard. The material is intimidating, however, make sure you watch her recorded integrity classes she provides. I found that the material is better to comprehend this way.
After reading her rates I was confident I would get a good grade for once in a math class. I took her online stat class. There's really not a lot of homework at all and her lectures are very clear but be warned the final is 35% and dropped my C+ to a D. Was unclear about what would be on the exam as well. But you get to use 2pgs of notes for final
Very clear and organized. Provide power points and study guides. Easy to talk to and can always see her during her office hours or email. Prompt reply. Highly recommend.
Mrs. Ferrell is awesome. I took her a couple of semesters ago and still think she's a fantastic teacher. I would go out of my way to take a class of hers again because she is an excellent teacher.
She is an amazing professor. As long as you go to class (she always lets out 10-20 minutes early) and take notes it is impossible to get lower than a B in her class. It is nearly impossible to get less than A on homework and quizzes (open note online and more than one chance.) She also allows a cheat sheet for the test!
She is an amazing professor ! She always makes sure you understand the material and you can tell she loves what she does. Her office hours are convenient and she is always willing to help. The tests are multiple choice and the homework and quizzes are on Mystatlab. I highly recommend her for stats !
Professor Ferrell is great! She is very clear, organized, and concise with her instruction and lecturing. She gets right to the point. She is friendly and doesn't mind assisting you with material during her office hours. Mrs. Ferrell is prompt with grading papers. Go to class, don't miss homework and quizzes and you'll do fine!
I have never been good at math but Professor Ferrell was a great teacher!! She is very organized and explains the information very well. She grades test very quickly and you are given a cheat sheet on each test including the final. Make sure you go to class because the rounding of your grade is based on your attendance. TAKE HER!!!!!
I took this class online and it was easier than expected. I did not use my book majority of the time. Just make sure to watch the tegrity lessons before each homework assignment. She's amazing!
Great professor! I never used the textbook because the Tegrity lessons covered everything. You MUST watch the Tegrity lessons and take notes to do well on the HW. Test can be difficult because there is so much information but allows cheat sheet for each test. Online test must be proctored. Replaces lowest test grade with final exam if higher.
I was skeptical and terrified to take a stats class in general, especially during a 5 week summer class. Ms. Ferrell made everything so great though. The tegrity lessons go through everything you need to know. Homework is on MML. Tests allow cheat sheets. Gives extra credit. She made everything so easy to understand. Everyone should take her!!
The material was not too hard but alot of the stuff on the test was never on the study guide or homework assignments.
Not a hard class if you watch the videos and read the book. Mrs. Ferrell makes it easy to understand and follow along. Homework every Wednesday and Sunday, with 3 tests and a final. The final is on everything you learn the whole semester which makes it a little harder. overall, a great teacher who is helpful.
She is the best. She explains everything (even hard stuff) so well and makes it so easy to understand. Before the test you go over all the topics on a study guide and then you make a notecard to use on the test and it makes it so do-able. As long as you go and pay attention you're going to get an easy A. The best math teacher I've ever had by far.
The material was super easy, tests were fair, and she explains everything very well. Index card cheat sheet on each test.
I struggled throughout this class, but Ms. Ferrell, was there to answer every question I had. All the assignments are completed using Aleks. The course is generated around your individual needs, which is a good thing as this prevents students from cheating. Take full advantage of the video lectures and try to work ahead.
Honestly haven't interacted much with the professor, but the class isn't too bad. Makes me consider getting more online classes if I can. Just have to go to a proctor for a few tests, but other than that you can do homework at home. Class isn't too hard, but it's not an easy A.
Took this class online, studied all the information and watched videos. Tests were NOT like the homework,videos, or test practice. I had emailed her several times and she will not respond back. Would not recommend.
BEST MATH TEACHER!!! I have always been bad at math and the way she explains things helped me so much. You don't have to go to class but you get extra credit if you do and she REALLY helps. There are 4 tests and then like 24 homeworks. The tests are pretty easy if you did the homework and you get to use a note card. DEF TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
She is an "ok" professor. The thing I liked was that she replaced your final grade with the lowest exam grade (or vice versa, whichever was higher). So you can have a bad exam day and still do really well in the class. She do not offer any extra credit, which sucked. But she allow an "amnesty" day to help improve your grade on homework.
Professor Ferrell is a great professor. There are class notes you can print off before class to easily follow along. The exams are very similar to the practice tests online. We are also allowed a note card to put formulas on for every exam. This was my first stats class and she taught the class very well and she was very helpful.
It was very rushed because of the block but go to the lectures .... you will need it.
You really need to do your work and ask for help when you need it .. she definitely was not comfortable with the online ... it was a great class and she as a teacher is amazing but the work is hard.
Loved having her for math 2228! She gives homework and quizzes but all online and she drops your lowest homework and quiz AND she replaces your final with your lowest homework grade. She truly wants you to succeed and I loved having her this semester
Overall she's a good professor and explains each topic carefully. If you take the practice test, the test will be easy and she lets you use your notes.
Best statistics teacher at ECU, Make sure to do your homework, take the practice tests and you will at least get a B in this class. Let's you use a sheet of notes on test.
When going into this class, I thought I was going to fail because I am terrible at math but this teacher is literally amazing! She actually made learning so easy. Attend class, don't look up your homework, she gives extra credit, and is so understanding!
Great Professor. Print notes. Watch lectures. Stay ahead. Youll do fine. This Professor could teach other professors how to teach during COVID. Shes awesome. Everything is available when class begins.
She is a great teacher the lectures are super helpful and she gives lots of opportunities to improve your grade. She gives extra credit on the tests if you do the practice test and get a 85 or above. Unlimited tries on the homework and everything is spaced out sufficiently.
I've never been good at math but Ferrell really wants you to pass. You get extra credit opportunities for each test & a whole cheat sheet for each test. If you go to class and actually try on the homeworks online & don't use photomath then you'll learn it's not hard to pass. The homework and practice tests are just like the actual tests. GET HER!
By far one of the best math classes Ive taken at ECU. I wouldve made an A in this class if I didnt miss so much days (attendance is optional BUT RECOMMENDED). She gives you detailed notes, so I HIGHLY advise you to print your notes before you go to class! GET A CALCULATOR!! Actually study on the practice tests :)
Going to class really helps because she explains stuff really good and youre free to ask questions. You also get to have a cheat sheet for every test (even the final) with anything you want up there. The practice test help a bunch because the problems are usually the same format as the test but different numbers. She is really nice also
Absolutely a terrible professor. She uses ALEKS which allows her to literally not do a single thing. She doesn't have to grade or teach anything because ALEKS does it for her. Barley teaches to a small group of students and when she does its not helpful. Most times she is confused at the math problems. Overall an absolutely terrible professor.
Love this professor. Just be in class to follow along on the notes and you'll do great on the tests. She doesn't use trick questions and gives lots of opportunities for extra credit.
Professor Ferrell is a really good teacher and good at explaining things. The notes and lessons are well organized. The class was a hard times because Im not really a math person. The only thing I would change about the class would be to offer extra credit for those that need it. Especially if they are like me who dont really excel at math.
She makes sure everyone understands how to work out problems from each unit and if you are struggling she seems more than happy to help during or after class.
Hands down the best professor I've had at ECU. She thoroughly explains each chapter and sets all students up for success. All you need to do is make sure you show up and she provides everything possible for students to pass. She is super nice and caring !!!
Hands down the best math instructor I've ever had. She cares about her students. No way you can fail this class unless you simply don't do the work. She sets you up for success. She gives extra credit if you do well on the study guide. If you sit down and do the study guide you will do great on exams. Exams are just like the study guide.
She clearly has a standard format for teaching, but she gets all the information across as simple as possible, and she answers questions. You get a cheat sheet on tests, so you won't have to memorize formulas. Homework is online and moderately heavy, but doable. Overall a very solid professor and class, would recommend.
I took a blocked MATH045/ MATH1065 course and Ferrel was my professor for both. I have NEVER done so well in a math class. I dropped MATH1065 the first time bc I had a 32. Now I have a 98. She works out problems and works with you, she is sweet and caring and I would take her again and recommend her to everyone. She is literally amazing
This class was pretty straightforward. The professor wasn't very active but this is mainly due to taking the class online. But, when I needed help she was there to assist me which is a plus. The online class has a lot of homework and 3 tests. She drops the lowest est grade as well. Good professor but nothing special.
Mrs. Ferrell is an amazing teacher. Math 1065 is all online on aleks. So you are forced to teach yourself, but she does a 45ish minute lecture every class (once a week) that helps if you don't understand. Highly recommend.
Amazing instructor! The class was harder due to it being in 8 weeks, but she did a great job making sure we understood the material. Her TA was also always helpful.
She is honestly the least compassionate teacher I've had while at ECU. When I was struggling in the class, I would email her and she would just tell me to book a tutoring appointment. She refuses to round grades, doesn't give extra opportunities, or do anything to help you succeed. She posts everything at the beginning of the semester and is done.
Great teacher, but so much homework. If you pay attention, take notes, and try your best on the homework you will do great.
Professor Ferrell is incredibly kind and understanding. Must attend class or you will fall behind, but lectures are easy to follow and go by quickly. You get a cheat sheet for exams, complete the study guides, do the homework and you will do fine.
Nothing special about the professor but she will assign an asinine amount of homework, I think she assigned more homework than about three of my classes.
She is a very caring professor! She made statistics so easy to understand. Her exams are in person but they are multiple choice. She does an exam review session and allows you to use 1 page (front and back) of handwritten notes on the exams! You will look forward to attending this class! She provides good extra credit opportunities! TAKE HER!!!
Wonderful professor. There is a decent amount of homework but it is broken up well so it is manageable and you have infinite tries so getting a 100 just takes time. Lectures are great and study guides are provided so you know exactly what material will be covered. Also, had extra credit available on exams if a practice exam was taken.
Amazing professor. The students who state that she does not give extra credit are wrong. There is a practice test you can take as many times as you would like and as long as you get an 85 or above on it you get 5 pts extra credit on the upcoming test. Show up to class on time, do your work, and pay attention in the lecture and you will do fine.
Always available for emails and to give help. Watch the video lectures, fill out the lecture notes she gives you, and you will do fine. Allows 1 page of notes per exam, and gives extra credit on the exams for getting a decent grade on the practice test. I ended up with over a 100 in the class because I took notes and studied.
